Chet Atkins › Lyrics › Yesterday

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it seems as though they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday

Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go, I don't know
She wouldn't say, she wouldn't say
Oh I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday, I believe in yesterday

Oh I had to go
I don't know, she would not say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday, I believe in yesterday

Was so far away
Oh yesterday was far away
And I know I can't turn back
'Cause yesterday is gone
